crack in the sidewalk

while observing the prints of storming strides
the remainders of a compassionate quarrel

with eyes down
i walked alone on the walk

i could see every trampled flower stalk
each uprooted root

if these cracks in the cement could talk
what man would they disrepute?

some things know all secrets,
each dastardly wicked role
the minute dirts and grits

that lie,
        fallen, 
        within the deepest cracks of our soul

-Pamplemousse
